SPIRIT OP nn PUBLIC JourtNALS. We have been accused inn certain quarter not re markable for either knowledge , or sagacity, of having I stated inaccuracies with respect to the public debt, — a curious objection, when it is consiclered that the whole of our statement is founded on a return made to Parliament by the Government themselves. Nov, there are, certainly, men who believe that the quar terly returns of the revenue, and every other return respecting the finance of the country, are a tissue of errors : our judicious opponent seems to think that these men are right, and that the circumstance of a return being made by the .Government is suffi cient to make it erroneous. What is his objec tion ? He says, a large item is introduced as representing a fi c titious capital, which is refer red to the Long Annuities." evidently for gets the question, and the objet of the inquiry, which was to draw a comparison between the public debt in 1819 and 1826 ; and a sum for this item appearing in both years, the one, to a certain degree, balances the other, except that the sum in 1819, is larger than in 1826; and therefore our opponent ,objects to an item which is really in his favour. But in both cases this is a very proper one ; for a long annuity, or any annuity for a term of years, is not a fictitious but a real capital ; and why? Because, in the same manner that a real capital is required in order to redeem a per petual annuity, so is a real capital required in order to redeem an annuity for a term of years, and the price at which it can be redeeited, or at which it is saleable in the market, is the value of the annuity ; and it is this value which is inserted in both years, 1810 and 1826. But it is further complained, that we in troduce the annuity of 2,800,0001.: we introduced nothing but what we found in a return made to Par liament of, the public debt of the country : and if this 2,800,0001. is not part of the debt, why does the Government introduce it ? But why ,is it not part of the debt ? Because, it is argued, it is only a charge on the consolidated fund. A whimsical reason truly l But the 3 per cent. Con sols and reduced, the 31 and 4 per cents., are only a charge on the consolidated fund; and, therefore, if this charge of 2,800,0001. per annum on the consolidated hind is not a debt, then by the same rule we have no debt at all, because every other portion of our debt is charged in the same manner. Well, then, this 2,800,000/. is not a debt, but merely an annual charge ()eche consolidated fund ; but did any such charge appear in the consolidated fund in the year 1819 ? Certainly not ; and why ? Because the , naval and military half-pay and pensions were then defrayed of of the ordinary revenue of the country; but this revenue being so reduced as to be no longer able to meet the charge for the naval and military pensions, this charge must now be defrayed by means of borrowing ; and as it is impossible to borrow without get ting . i debt is greater now than in 1819. And this ends the question ; Ibr it is no part of the question, whether the total sum raised by taxes on the people, to defray the charges on the consolidated fund, and the ways and means of the year, be greater or less than in 1819, but the whole, question is this—whether the debt is greater or less ; and as we have shown that it is greater, the result of the whole argument will be this—that Four income nut being equal to our extravagant expen diture, it was determined that the deficiency should he made good, not by a reduction of .expendi• ture, but by creating nit annuity on our estate— Thus much in the way of argument, and now to, matter of fact and then it must be confessed, that as far as respects this annuity the Minister is just now upon velvet ; he receives about 1,000,000/. per annum from the Bank, against which he pays them 585,0001., and this leaves him a clear balance of upwards of 1,400,0001. But time, the destroyer of all human neatness, runs him to a period. ' After July, 1828, the ank pay him no more money, and then how will he stand ? Why, that having. to pay the Bank 585,0001. per annum, while he receives nothing, lie will also have to provide for the whole of the naval and military pensions, and this in the best way that he can. But he certainly will have this satisfaction, that the charge n his consolidated fund will be less than at present; but in return, the charge for the ways and means of the year will lie increased in an infinitely greater propor tion ; unless, indeed, he should go on with the annuity scheme, and then there will he no alteration, and the matter will stand just as it does at present. And there fore, turn the thing' as we will, it always resolves itself into this—that here is . a large sum to be paid annually for naval and military half-pay and pensions, and that nil other things remaming the same, this annual pay ment is precisely equivalent to than annuity of '20390,000/. which was created by an Act of the 3d of (,co. IV. c. 51.; and this is the annuity in question, and which regularly appears as a charge on theson solidated fund.—Times. The report still creeps out at intervals, tits pro jected seizure of property by Ministers to supply the deficiency of revenue.--that is, in truth, to supply that extravagance by which the es.pences of Government have been allowed to exceed its income. For there is no doubt but that, if there were a virtuous and in dependent Parliament, Government would be made to live within its means, without a thought of impos ing fresh burdens on the people. It is, indeed, a cu rious and striking fact, and shows very accurately the opinion which people entertain of Ministers, that, Whatever may be, the necessities of the State, neither public rumour nor secret whisper ever attribute to those' by whom its affairs arc managed, the honest de migo of relieving them by economy or retrenchment, but always by an aggravation of the public burdens. The report now in circulation is, that it is among the financial setunnes of Ministers to propose an imposi tion of Si. per cent: on all real and funded property — that is, to take aw a y for this year one twentieth part of every man's property 1 And, to make the project l ess objectionable, it is pretended that the itkisessed taxe s shall be repealed. We are then told of the se curity which every species of .pr o p er t y en j oys i n t hi s country ( s ecurity indeed!) and that this security ought a merit in an es t e -. a s if it were really to be paid for : Wished Government to abstain froin seizing the pro,. petty of its su bj ec t s a t will ; as if the individual owed ti l e ll S g t s a , te o , r t r l e th a t p li t e he co a u c l q d u l i a s y m b o y ns tl o i ef great gratitude to fruits of his own earm Isis forefathers, without time dread ot invasion. Wh y , of some kind or other, if there were not security would revert t o a so ciety would be dissolved,. and man the funds is t barbarous state. A portion of bin seized but how are the land the to her en dered capable of preserving the res.idue of their pro.; re way, by the immediate payment of a sum of money equal in value to a twentieth part of the whole ? A they to sell a twentieth part_ of their land ? Or, if the tax were.to but 2 per cent., are they to sell -tif they are to be believed, pal ? For, they have a fortieth money. And who are to be the purchasers e Their tenants ? But the tenants exclaim' that they arc equally poor and distressed. Besides, when can this • t Invastan of property, If once commenced, ever have an end ? Governinent cannot raise the revenue which its various extravagances require, because its subjects, landed, temmercial, and manufacturing, are so iinpo verished: It therefore seizes a part of the property of those: impoverished ' subjects. They must, therefore, be poorer hereafter, and the, revenues of Government fail yet more and more, progressively. No, Say, let Government retrench, and the subject will thus be relieved ; min - tierce, mannfactures, and agriculture, will take a fresh spring ; and then, if the necessities or honour of the State call for new exertions, it will have renovated its vigour by repose, and be able to Make them. But new bfirdens during peace must either end in some tumultuous. act of despair, or must lay us breathless and exhausted before the first enemy that chooses to insult us.—lbid. Nothing is 80 great a nuisance to English Magi straws as pleasure, or rather, nothing that does not assume the shape or pleasure is in any danger of being decland a nuisance. To be smoke-dried by manu factories--to be stunk to death by shambles and slaugh ter-houses in the midst of our cities—to be thrust into the kennels by files of soldiers-,-to be cleared out by pickpockets--these ordinary grievances a man may protect himself against as he may, If he is robbed, he must pay a pollee officer to catch the thief, pay to get back sus property, pay to prosecute the offender. If a cripple be kicked, he may indict his adversary at his own expence. But if a ballad-singer overstep the bounds of a decent gravity—if a man eat Welch rabbits or drink ale after eleven o'clock—if a score of people dance at a fair, or delight themselves with gazing on a tom-foolery, the, justice of the country is alarmed, and the Great Unpaid exert all their powers to protect the nation against ex cess of happiness. The fact is, that the ordinary crimes against person and property are of a decent and clan destine description, to hunt out which requires some trouble, and is rewarded with little glory. But merri ment and enjoyment are of an open, bold, and nude , cious character, of which every justicing man, oven though he be a fool, can understand the full enormity. They present some mark to a clumsy sportsman—they are the pheasants in the ,Justices' Preserves, which may be knocked on the head without labour at a grand baitue. The other day there was a field day of Surrey Magistrates, in which the amusements of Vaux hall were treated upiin the principles we have de scribed. So long as Vauxhall has been Vauxhall, fire works have been let off at 12 o'clock at night, and some persons who, well knowing the practice, went by choice to.live in the neighbourhood of this place of amusement' have taken offence at the congregation of the people who cannot afford to pay to enter the Gar dens, and who get an imperfect view of the fireworks from without. The time during which this offence of being amused at fireworks is committed cannot exceed ten minutes, three times a week, a fourth part of the year ; but this is too much. A memorial is presented to the Surrey Sessions, and the Magistrates gladly take occasion of this absurd memorial to revise the whole system of Vauxhall, evidently with' a great hankering for its entire suppression. The fol lowing account of the conditions under which the license was finally granted, is taken from a Sunday Paper ; and if it be an exaggeration of the enactments, it is by no means a caricature of the spirit which clic- . tated them. The power of regulating public amuse ments, if nitrusted to any authority, should not be given to -taste of volunteer busy-bodies, who, from their own natural moroseness and stupidity, or from the desire of paying court to particular lanatacs, whine and affect to he shocked at all pleasures in which they do not themselves participate. The proper duty of Magis trates is executive and judicial. If these gentry were set to trim the lamps, or to drive out the dogs, they Would he usefully employed ; and if, by a system of judicious checks, we could guard against corruption, we would 'trust them to decide on the proper thickness of the slices of ham and the strength of rack punch, but to make laws for the letting off of fire-works and the distribution of lights is far beyond their depth.— . Morning Chronicle. We were .inuch pleased at the result of the trials— Walter Blake Bourke v. Morning Chronic*, and Courier. The Jury properly appreciated the thing, and saw the secret working in the back-ground ; the Judge did not, or he never could have delivered such a charge. If Mr. Walter Blake Bourke had done that which iVas right, he would have brought his action against Edmonds, Here, as Mr. Scarlett said, we might have seen the Pot versus the Kettle. But Juries have taken our hint, they have erected them selves into what they ought to.be—Courts of'Equity. They appear to disregard Judges' charges—we are glad of it, for Juries, .ninety-nine times out of a hun dred, know the bearings of these things much better than Judges do or can do. They also know what,the judge does not tell them, but yet when he charges Juries he ought to tell—that if a man only gets one farthing damages, it carries costs on both sides ; so that a farthing or a shilling damages is punished, in consequence of the excessive law charges in our Courts by the payment of 300/. Now let juries always bear this in mind. We know not who were the attornies in this case, but we look upon these actions as attor ney's actions, and no doubt the Jury thought 80 too ; therefore, in the very teeth of the Judges charge, they saddled the attorney with the costs on both sides; as to Mr. Walter Blake Bourke, we question if he has the money to tray fur the actions. We arc glad to see such a spirit rising in England, on the part of Juries, in opposition to the Bench—that is, when they think the Bench wrong and themselves right, so far as the equity of the matter is c oncerned.—Morning Herald. The Stock Exchange people are all agog respecting a commercial treaty with France. This, no doubt is.put forth by the 13u11 party, in order to toss up the price of funds. That Mr. Canning ~would uhml r. Cattol'ii a i r l i g s for any such purpose we do not believe. must know, that in the present unnatural state of Eng land as 'compared with France, we could have no commercial treaty with France that would be worth a pin. The fact, we think, is , that Mr. Canning would have too much sagacity to propo se any thing,of the sort to Mr. Villele; the first reply to Mr. Canning . would be, " Pray, sir, on what principle ?"—" On the principle of reciprocity," would be the re p l y of 'Mr' Canning. " Well, then," Mr. Villele would say, suppose we take your cotton and woollen goods at a 30 per cent. tax, will you take our brandies, wino), &c,, at the same tax, but which you now tax at the rate ot a 'two or th ree t h ousan d per cent.. ''v "No " Mr• . w it:L l4 “ r t il d h— lestiek - Canning would re fly ? " Why not ?" Mr- v Luci e . c e c il a d us o e f J our revenue could not afford if. you 118.41110 revenue," 'Then Mr. Villele and Mr. Canning would laugh eacoluirortehvecitient thleree7veNnt; probably he an end of the commercial Areaty negocia tion. Both the great statesmen would sit down to dinner; and laugh at the talk of - the stock and instal faluring interests. We have often said that connner- cial treaties are not worth,_ a farthing. We would re commend statesmen to avoid them. They are often sources of ivar. The Chinese do without them; and yet all the world bow down to the Chinese for tea, and other the productions of China, and think it great favour to be permitted to send their ships to China, to bring away Chinese products. A commercial treaty With France would be a farce, for so long as we drink irench wines, We must pay for them -in British pro; duce. Could a commercial treaty accomplish . mart than this. What a fuss was made about commercial treaties with *South America—they have not been of the least LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Ocr. 21. riXiOCZIT V. gUCKANA24 AND OTHERS. *hen this cause was called OR, the LORD CHIRP JUSTICE said, he observed from the pleadings that it Wag an action brought for the recovery of a large sum by a female against a relation, and therefore he wished to know before any of the merits were stated in public, whether the parties could not agree upon arranging the cause out of Court: Mrs BROUGHAM said he appeared for the plaintiff, and was perfectly willing to agree to a reference, Mr. ScARLETT could not consent to this. He was sa tisfied that what the plaintiff sought to recover, he could never succeed in. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE would then try the case. He only threw out what he had done, for the consideration of the bar. Mr. SCAULETT would say thus much, that his client was exceedingly unwilling that the case should be publicly gone into, but he would submit to that rather than com ply with the present claim. His client was willing to make a handsome allowance to a woman, not half his own age, for her life, who, if he were to die just'now, would never get a farthing. The action was brought by the plaintiff to recover the money claimed against the defendant's hus band and wife, for goods supplied to the latter—the plain tiff being her sister. Mr. BROUGHAM did not understand this offer as a ten der to the plaintiff of anything in consideration of what she ,now claimed. His LORDSHIP thought Mr. Scarlett would go that length. A long discussion now took place, and the result was, an agreement to refer the cause, and all 'natters in dispute, to Mr. Taunton. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. —Zlizabeth Neale, a middle-aged woman, was charged with stealing a bed, bolster, and pillows, not by actually , taking them out of the owner's possession against his will, or with out his consent, but by obtaining them by fraud. it appeared the prisoner has been living apart from her husband for the last three years, latterly On an allowance of 10s. a week, and a few days ago she determined upon exercising the legal right of married ladies living in her state, to obtain necessaries suitable to her rank, leaving the payment of them to be enforced from her husband. In pursuance of this plan, she hired a room in Cloth fair on Monday last, and on Tuesday she walked into the shop of Mr. Timothy, an upholsterer, in Barbican, selected the above mentioned articles, value V. 10s., and directed theM to be sent to her lodgings. The articles were carried there, and deposited in her room up stairs, and she then prevailed on the porter to apply for the money to her husband, a colourman, residing in Maiden lane, Battle-bridge, where, however, he soon ascertained the state of things, that payment would be resisted, and that the prisoner had duped many tradesmen of their property in the same way. . Mr. Neale, the husband, addressed the Alderman.—lle said the prisoner had been his wife 25 years; but within the last se ven years she bad spent bin► 4,0001. and reduced him from af , titmice to comparative poverty, and instead of being worth 3,0001. a year, he was not worth 3001.--nor 1001. Ile bad reduced Ma allowance to her from (Os. to 10a_ a week, since May, under the aanetion of the Ituttert-gorden magistrates, by whom elm bad been committed to Clerkemycll prison above twenty times, for violent and bad conduct. The prisoner, in reply, insisted he was as still a man of good' property, alleged he was cohabiting with his female servant, and that when she married him with a fortune of 9001. he was but a private in the Lancashire Militia. Mr. Neale exclaimed, with great solemnity, "I never had a 'farthing with her, and all she has uttered are hellish falsehoods, to help me God! - I could bring a hundred people to refute what idir has stated." • Sir Pirrisa Unmet was of opinion a case, for commitment had been made out, because the prisonor hail not told the truth when she obtained the goods, and he therefore sent her to Newgate for trial. ISAACS r. Mow, jun.—ln this MS Mr. Jonas Moses, the son and heir of a portly Israelite, who dtaleth out blue ruin to the wicked at the sign of the Red Lion, in Vinegar-yard, Drury-lane, and heareth, among the police, the cognomen of "Money Moils," was brought up on a warrant, charging him with having griev ously assaulted ouu Mr. Henry Isaacs, within the purlieus of the Court of King's Bench, in the Guildhall of the city of London, against the peace of our Sovereign Lord the King. When the MK was called on, and Mr. Henry Isaacs, the com plainant, had taken his place in the witness box, the attendant Marshalman, presuming from the latter half of his name, that he must he an Israelite, was about to swear him upon the Hebrew Bible; whereupon Mr. Money MOM, rushing lbrward, exclaim ed-4f Oh ! not upon that—not upon that—not upon that—don't shwear him upon that ; for he's only half a Jsw Mr. Money Moses's anxiety, however, was quite gratuitous; for Henry ISAACS no sooner perceived that it was the Hebrew Bible s than be desired to be sworn upon the New Testament; which having been done, he deposed as follows :—" May it please your Worship, last week I was subpicnaed in the Court of King's Bench to give evidence in a cause in which the assignees of Creed, a bankrupt, brought an action against old Mr. Moses here--" " Who do you call e/d Mr. Moses ? you vagabond !" cried Mr. Money Moses, interrupting him. Mr. .Henry Isaacs proceeded :—‘" The assignees of Creed, a bankrupt, b roug ht an action against Mr. Mo4es, the Other, for recoverytlyt of the value of certain goods which he had purchs, from the bankrupt, after he had committed an act of bankruptcy. In that action I was the principal witness for the assignees, and the. Jury gave a verdict of 1501. damages against Mr. Moses the -father; which so offended the whole family, that Miss Moses here—" " Miss Moses !! !" cried Mr. Moses, the father—" your ,Lordship,--ahe isn't Miss Moses at all, but a respectable married woman ; she was Miss Moses, but she is Mrs. Abrahams now-- awl he knows it, only he wants to insult her !" " Let the fool go on, father ;" said Mrs. Abraham.. Mr. Henry Imam once snore proceeded :—" Well then, they were so much offended at the verdict, that Mrs. Abraham., the moment the verdict was g i ven , and whilst we were still in Court, cried out to all the people rou nd about us—' Take care of your pockets !—he'l nothing else but a pickpocket !' When 1 came out of Court, some time after, I found Mrs. Abrahams and her brother, Air. Nos es , t h e eo n, waiting for me; but I took no notice of thsin ; which made Mrs. Abrahams so angry, that she flew at me and scratched my face, as your Worship sees. I said to Mrs. Abrahams, who was again beginning to abuse me, I'll not be used in this manner, for I'll go over to the justice-room and get a warrant against you.' ' Then you may get a warrant for me al.° said her brother, Mr. Moses, jun. ; and so saying, he gave me a violent blow on the bead which felled me to the ground." Mr. John Herbert Foulke, came forward as a Vvitness of all this violence. A great number of other respectable witnesses offered their tee timoly to the same effect.
